"Talk." Kaia speaks her voice calm. "To me."
"Yes." Michael says.
Kaia tilts her head.
"If you are gonna ask me to join you, the answer is no. I don't choose sides. I'm on my own side."
"I want to talk about your spear?"
"My spear."
"Where did you find it?"
"Does it matter."
"I need to know. I haven't sensed a weapon this powerful for a long time."
Kaia calmly looks at her man who towered over her.
"Angel. Like him?" Michael frowns. Kaia nods "Figured it out. Heard his wings. Eyes glowing blue. His monsters spoke about him. He introduced himself as Michael." She eyes the archangel up and down. "You to had the eyes, strength. I saw the change in you. Like you became a whole new person. I know the face. Dean. Michael wouldn't fear a human. So who are you? Who is this supernatural being wearing Dean's face."
"Michael."
"You are Michael. So is he. You belong in this world. He doesn't. He is like me. "
"How did you crossover? How did you open a rift?" Sam asks.
"I am what she was." Kaia answered.
"A dreamwalker."
"We were connected. I saw what she saw. She didn't understand. She was scared."
"You killed her." Jody says.
"That was an accident. I was trying to kill the blonde."
"Claire." Jody shakes her head. "Why...why Claire?"
"The blonde would have doomed our relationship. Our bond. Would have taken her away from me."
"You were in different worlds." Sam says.
"Made no difference. We were close. We were one. You see the blonde and her were going to meet. It was fate. It was going to turn into something more than one meeting. I had to put a stop to that. She saved the blonde." Kaia lowers her eyes. "Killing her was like killing part of me. Part of me died when she died. The bond broke."
"It hit Claire hard." Jody says.
"Thought it would." Kaia smiles. "She wants to kill me, let her get in line. Already have monsters and two Michaels after me. I think this Michael will be claiming his prize."
"I want you to answer my question about that spear." Michael taps his head. "I saw your world in Dean's memories. The bad place that's what this world Kaia called it. Where did you get it?" Kaia tilts her head to the other side. Michael's face goes stern. " I can easily get the information out of your head but I don"t want to. I don't want to hurt you."
"You already knocked me out. Why not scramble my brain." Michael tried to stay calm. Kaia can see his face twitching. "You are strong physically but mentally no. You are damaged."
"Excuse me."
"Your vessel, he scared her. Yelled and pointed a gun at her. Forced her to help him."
Sam remembered that moment. Dean suddenly lost it and yelled and threatened the dreamwalker. It was unexpected. Even Sam was shocked by his brother's behaviour that day.
Michael was aware he seen the memory.
"He just wanted his mom back." He says.
Kaia shakes her head.
"That outburst. It has happened more than once." Her eyes go on to Sam. "You know that."
Sam froze. He didn't like being put on the spot. Especially when it came to his brother.
"Stop making this about him." Jody interrupts. She glares at the dreamwalker. "We're here to speak about you."
"There isn't much to say about me." Kaia answers. She looks at Michael again. "You and Dean. Tough on the outside. Scared on the inside."
"Scared." Michael chuckled. "I fought wars. I led armies. You think I'm scared of a little girl."
"I didn't say you are scared of me. You're scared of him. The other you. Scared of what he is capable of."
"I'm stronger than him. I have my sword. My true vessel. He doesn't."
"Again physically. The other you is stronger when it comes to the mind. He defeated you hasn't he."
Michael thought back to when AU Michael slashed his throat and sent him to the other world. Michael frowned. He wasn't thinking straight then. Power took over the mind. Michael didn't think he just fought. He didn't think of the moves AU Michael could do on him. The ideas AU Michael might plan to end him. Michael just wanted the alternative archangel dead.
Now look what has happened, AU Michael is building an army, powered up the monsters, people are dying.
If I thought clearly that day the other me would have been dead ages ago.
"You both have the need to protect your family." Kaia continues. "You can't, not while he is alive. That scares you. The fear that he could hurt yours or Dean's family."
"Be quiet." Michael warned.
"Anger. Another thing you both have in common. Damaged. I said that because you both been through a traumatic experience. I don't know what but I have the feeling. It has left a scar." She sighs. "You are weak. Nothing can change that.
Now the archangel is boiling. No one dared to hit his weak spot. He felt Dean"s anger alongside his. Michael winced as Dean started pounding again demanding to be let out to get answers out of her instead.
"STOP IT DEAN" Michael yelled in his mind.
The banging stopped.
"She is not helping." Dean spoke.
"She is trying to break us. She wants us...me to attack. Make me look the bad person. Your brother doesn't trust me. I can't have this girl making it worse."
Michael turns and smiles at Sam. The look to say everything is okay. He looks at Kaia.
"How about you? Why did you come here?" Kaia looks the other way. Michael circles around her. "You came from a world ran by monsters. Dean was there for a little while but from what I seen, there is no humans." He pauses and looks straight down at Kaia. "How does it feel? You must feel alone."
"I"m used to it."
"Really?"
"I was fine over there."
"Then why did you come here." He goes down so he was eye level with her. "Paradise, new life, starting over, to see other humans."
"Explore." She answers.
"Explore? Or run. You been here and led the same life you did back there. Running, living out in the woods. Most would attempt at building a new life." Kaia frowns. Michael raises his eyebrow. "You are struggling."
"No."
Michael runs his fingers down her cheek.
"I sense regret. You are not happy." Kaia's face hardened. "You are tough on the outside. Scared on the inside." Michael repeats the dreamwalker's words.
He smiles. He was the one in control in this conversation now. His hand goes on to her head. His eyes go curious like he was having a peek inside.
"You are worried. Not for yourself, you are worried about someone else. The regret is linked to that certain someone." Kaia's eyes widen. Michael nods "I'm not wrong."
Kaia hesitates. She looks at the spear. She wanted to grab it and flee. Get away from the archangel.
"The spear." She said her eyes still on the weapon. "It has to stay with me."
"Why?"
" I put my life into that spear."
"Is the spear really what you want. Is it your biggest desire? Or is it a need? What do really want Kaia?"
"None of your business."
"If I was to offer you a deal." He stands up thinking cleverly now. "The spear in exchange for what you want. What would it be?"
"I would never give away my spear."
"What if you had to. So your wish would be granted. What would it be?"
Kaia glares at him.
"Kill me."
Michael sighs
"I want to help you."
Jody and Sam frown at Michael. Michael gives them the let me handle this look.
"Help me." Kaia scoffs "I been fine on my own. I don't want your help."
"That's not going to help you get what you want." The archangel picks up the spear before Sam can stop him. "I know there is something you want. I can see it." He holds the spear in front of her. "It's not this. This is a weapon. It doesn't fill the hole. Kaia, what do you want?"
Kaia's eyes meet his. His intense stare stops her from dismissing the topic. She opens her mouth and says.
"I want to go home."
